Precise EMG and nerve conduction testing to diagnose what’s causing your numbness, tingling, or weakness.
Reviews
You’ve been dealing with unexplained numbness in your hands. Or shooting pain down your leg that nobody can figure out. Maybe your fingers feel like they’re asleep all the time, or your grip isn’t what it used to be.
Nerve and muscle testing gives you the clear answers you need. Through electromyography and nerve conduction studies, we can pinpoint exactly which nerves aren’t working properly and why your muscles feel weak.
No more guessing. No more “let’s try this and see what happens.” You’ll know if it’s carpal tunnel syndrome, a pinched nerve in your back, diabetic neuropathy, or something else entirely. Once you know what’s actually wrong, you can start the right treatment and get back to normal.
NY Spine Medicine has been serving Richmond Hill and the greater Queens area with comprehensive neuromuscular diagnostic testing. Our board-certified neurologists and trained EMG technicians use advanced electrodiagnostic equipment to evaluate nerve and muscle function.
We understand that living with unexplained nerve symptoms is frustrating. You want answers, not more appointments that lead nowhere. That’s why we focus on accurate, efficient testing that gives you and your doctor the information needed to move forward with treatment.
Our Richmond Hill location makes it convenient for patients throughout Queens to get the specialized testing they need without traveling into Manhattan.
The nerve conduction study comes first. We place small electrodes on your skin and send mild electrical pulses to measure how fast signals travel through your nerves. This tells us if your nerves are damaged and where the problem is located.
Next is the EMG, or electromyography. A thin needle electrode is inserted into specific muscles to measure their electrical activity. This shows us whether your muscle weakness is coming from the muscle itself or from nerve damage affecting the muscle.
The entire process typically takes 30 to 60 minutes depending on which nerves and muscles we’re testing. You’ll get your results the same day, along with a clear explanation of what we found. We send a detailed report to your referring doctor so you can start appropriate treatment right away.

Our nerve and muscle testing covers both sensory nerves that control feeling and motor nerves that control movement. We can diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, sciatica, diabetic neuropathy, and other common nerve disorders.
The testing is especially valuable for Richmond Hill residents dealing with diabetes-related nerve problems. Early detection of diabetic neuropathy allows for better management and can prevent more serious complications.
We also frequently test for workplace-related nerve injuries. Whether you’re experiencing numbness from repetitive computer work or back pain from lifting, our diagnostic testing can determine if nerve compression is the cause and help guide your treatment options.
